The road is right under your feet

Bai Xing sighed secretly, life is hard, and cultivating oneself is even harder.

Bai Xing rubbed his face, hurriedly ended this simple transaction, and led the two out of Cuizhuxuan.

On the other side, east of the city.

"Report——"

A guard rushed into the training ground in a hurry and knelt down on one knee in front of a burly middle-aged man.

The man looked indifferent, still staring at the soldiers practicing martial arts, "Why are you so flustered?"

The guard stammered, "Report... Report to the garrison commander, someone holding a jade token has arrived..."

The guard didn't wait for the guard to finish, he grabbed his collar and pulled him up, saying word by word: "What did you say! Where is the person!"

The guard trembled with fear and stammered, "I...I don't know..."

The guard shook him off, closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them again. "Find it for me, even if I have to dig three feet underground. Please come to my house."

"Yes, I am resigning."

"Wait, don't alert the enemy. Report to me as soon as you find them. I will...go to meet them personally."

The guards nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, a mansion in the west of the city also received the news, and for a while, there was an undercurrent of turmoil.

On the way, Bai Xing handed the ring given to him by the sturdy man to Li Mu, "There are 4,220 spiritual stones in it, keep it."

He had just divided the spirit stone into three parts. Gu Yi's share had already been given to him and was put into his Void Ring.

Li Mu had no storage items on him, probably because his family was poor.

Li Mu was shocked and tried to refuse, but found that he could not resist Bai Xing, so he accepted it.

The thought in my mind became more determined.

Without waiting for Bai Xing and the others to ask questions, Li Mu began to introduce, with a hint of admiration in his voice, "Ze'an Town originally had no name, it was just an inconspicuous little village.

Due to its special geographical location, sandwiched between Yongxiao City and the Southwest Region, and adjacent to Jishan, it often becomes a place of war and conflict.

As a result, casualties often occurred, and the villagers repeatedly asked Yongxiao City for help, but never received a response.

In their moment of despair, it was the unexpected arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that saved the villagers from dire straits. He later vigorously developed the small village, leading to its current prosperous scene.

Therefore, in order to remember the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the elders of the village renamed the village Ze'an Town, named after the Crown Prince, implying that the village would be bathed in the royal grace and have eternal peace.

This is also a reminder for our descendants, which we must never forget.”

Ze'an? The prince's name is Yun Ze'an? It doesn't match his temperament at all.

While Bai Xing was thinking, a sudden voice suddenly came, pretending to be surprised and with a hint of condescending contempt.

"Li Mu? You're still alive? Oh, so you found help."

Li Mu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Du Chong."

Bai Xing looked at the handsome and beautiful couple in front of him with great interest, but he had no interest in participating in their boring fight.

Lin Momo was held in Du Chong's arms, her brows slightly furrowed.

Li Mu suddenly let go of his hand and stopped looking at the two people. Instead, he said to Bai Xing and the others, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Gu, let's go."

A hint of surprise flashed across Bai Xing's eyes, and he nodded indifferently, "It's getting late, why don't you take us to a nearby inn first."

"Okay, please come with me."

Du Chong's eyes were gloomy. He was just a kid in the Body Tempering Realm, yet he dared to ignore him.

With a wave of his hand, the guards behind him immediately understood what their young master meant and immediately blocked the way of Bai Xing and others.

Bai Xing curled his lips and turned around, "Master Du, you are a well-known wealthy family in town after all. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this, right?"

Du Chong snorted coldly, "You don't need to interfere with what I want to do."

Li Mu said angrily: "Du Chong, don't go too far."

Bai Xing gave him a soothing look, and Li Mu immediately calmed down.

"What do you want?"

Du Chong's mouth corners slowly curled up, "What do I want? You will know soon." After saying that, he waved his hand.

The group of guards moved at the same time and attacked Bai Xing and the other two.

Bai Xing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "There are ten in total, so make sure to finish them off quickly and don't kill any of them."

Gu Yi tilted his head and said, "These are all masters in the early stage of the Spiritual Journey Realm. I may not have time to take care of you for a while. You must be careful. I will deal with them as soon as possible."

Bai Xing shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's a good opportunity to practice with them."

While they were talking, the group of people had already come closer.

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, so the first to strike will gain the upper hand." Bai Xing muttered to himself.

His muscles were tense, his fists were clenched, and one hand was clenched across his chest, like a bow and arrow ready to be released.

He stepped back slightly with his left foot, lowered his body, and exerted force with his legs, galloping forward like a wild horse.

His movements were swift and precise, and he struck his opponent in the abdomen with his knee, sending him flying into the air.

The other party only saw an inky afterimage approaching rapidly, which could not be captured by the naked eye.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and before he could react, he felt a sharp pain. His internal organs were churning, a fishy and sweet taste came up in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

His body was involuntarily bounced back and fell heavily towards a distant building, making a dull impact sound.

Bai Xing's eyes were cold and his body was as fast as a swallow. He skillfully adjusted his posture in the air and stepped firmly on the opponent's chest, using the impact force to avoid the splattered blood mist.

Then he did an elegant backflip, stepped lightly on another guard, and used the reaction force to rush towards the enemy who was plotting against Gu Yi at lightning speed.

He turned his ankle and swept the man's cheek sharply.

The man was caught off guard and his body rolled uncontrollably to the ground. His jaw hit the ground with a sharp fracture sound, and then he fell into coma.

This series of movements was smooth and flowing, and Shirahoshi's figure left a series of afterimages in the sunset.

Each of his movements was full of power and beauty, swift and agile, making people stare at him sideways.

Li Mu caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye and couldn't help swallowing.

Is Mr. Bai really only in the Body Tempering Realm? He himself was a little unsure. He might not be able to defeat two masters of the Spiritual Movement Realm in such a short time.

Bai Xing landed lightly on the ground, gently brushed off the non-existent dust on his trouser legs, and said calmly, "Master Du, your guard is not completely without merit. At least this face is the same as the city wall. My legs hurt. They all say that he is the beast zodiac master. Do you think so?"

A smile flashed across Gu Yi's eyes, and he snatched the sword from a guard.

The movements were clean and neat, and each blow accurately hit the opponent's weak points in the meridians, easily causing the opponent to suffer the greatest pain.

His techniques were skillful and ruthless, and his attacks were like a violent storm, leaving his opponents overwhelmed and forced to passively take the beating.

For a while, screams could not be heard.

Du Chong laughed in anger, "You are just a mere body forging realm, yet you dare to speak to me like this? I can kill you with my own hands easier than with an ant."

Bai Xing suddenly realized, "Oh~ is that so." He dodged the attack of a guard and then said to Du Chong innocently, "The little ant is still standing, but you, Mr. Du, have lost a lot of your guards."

Du Chong couldn't bear it any longer, so he let go of Lin Momo, made his hands into claws, and pounced towards Bai Xing.

Bai Xing's figure was like a phantom, and he instantly distanced himself from the guard. Looking at the figure coming towards him, a ferocious force burst out from his body, as if to tear Bai Xing to pieces with his bare hands.

The corner of Bai Xing's mouth slowly curled up, just in time, with one hand behind his back, standing still like a pine tree.

Just when Du Chong was less than one meter away from Bai Xing, the hand behind Bai Xing moved.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out and punched Du Chong in the face, knocking him several meters away.

His gorgeous clothes rolled on the ground, all covered in dust, and he looked in a miserable state.

Lin Momo hesitated for a moment, but still trotted over to help the man up.

Bai Xing was stunned, and the thing at his fingertips disappeared instantly. Gu Yi walked over to Bai Xing in two or three steps, looked him up and down, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Shirahoshi shook his head, "I'm fine, thanks."

Gu Yi smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

Then he turned around, the smile on his face no longer there, and looked at Du Chong who was helped up by Lin Momo with dark eyes. The murderous intent in his eyes seemed to have solidified.

At this time, Li Mu also came forward. His first reaction was to ask if Bai Xing was injured. After getting a positive reply, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Chong glanced at the guards who were groaning on the ground, knowing that the situation was hopeless, and did not linger any longer, "Why are you still standing there? Get up, let's retreat."

After saying that, he glared at Bai Xing fiercely, covered his face with his hands, and strode away.

Bai Xing asked in confusion: "Gu Yi, you were the one who hit him in the face, why did he glare at me and not at you?"

Gu Yi smiled, "Maybe he has a concussion, his mind is not clear."

It was getting dark, and the people nearby were looking at them as if they were monsters.

Bai Xing suddenly felt a great deal of pressure and immediately whispered to Li Mu, "Quick, take us to the nearby inn."
